Using a Discarded Diecut

What do you do with die cuts that don't work out for your layout or card? Sometimes I cut things and they aren't quite the right size or shape. Or maybe I don't really like that paper color after all.

When doing a layout this weekend, I cut a shape from the Storybook cartridge on my Cricut that I love but not on the layout. I went with something from another cartridge in the end. Sometimes these old cuts end up on other cards or layouts. This time, I used it as a mask for misting some card background.

Watercolor paper made a great surface for the misted background. I distressed the edges with some Tea Dye distress ink and then added the sentiment (Cloud 9) and a variety of ribbons.

This one is going for my Mother's birthday later in the week.

Thanks for stopping by! I'll have a layout up soon and some new cards, too.
